Go straight ahead!!
真っすぐに進んで!!
massugu ni susunde


How to say in Japanese: Straight Ahead
You are lost and you are asking for direction. 
The man tells you 真っすぐにいってください massugu ni itte kudasai.
Then you should just go straight.
Usually it follows by に ni, which indicates direction.

But if you want to say, look straight ahead, you add 前 mae.
It become 真っすぐ前を見る massugu mae wo miru.
Notice the を wo is used. That`s because 真っすぐ前 massugu mae becomes a noun.

If you are confused with all the particles, just drop it. 
真っすぐいって massugu itte
真っすぐ前見る massugu mae miru
People will understand you too, and dont worry, it wont sound weird either. 
It is normal even among Japanese to drop particles.
